Leo soon uncovers the truth: 'Arcana,' individuals blessed (or cursed) with inherent magical abilities, exist and are being exploited and suppressed by shadowy forces. Realizing Arcana are the key to unlocking a new era of technological innovation and saving his family's legacy, Leo must forge unlikely alliances, master the art of arcane integration, and confront a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of power, all while battling demons, both literal and figurative, that threaten to consume everything he holds dear.
